think when it is proven that Alien's do visit earth. I think you all to come on here, apologise to everyone, then put your head between your legs and
kiss your own butts.

And if I am called a tin head for believing in UFO's then so be it. I can live with that!!

Gotta love this reply! There are heaps of ' tinheads' about....and long may they have a loud voice.

ETA: I have to say though that I am not convinced about the subject here...just agree with the posters sentiments re debunkers.

I have to say I dont know what they are, but I dont think they look like smoke rings. They seam to appear in the air in the ring form for to long to
be smoke rings IMO, plus where is the rest of the smoke rising?

Awesome catch !! I was so shocked to see this pic !! I was heading to work in missouri and it was a heavy cloud covered morning and then suddenly
there was this giant ring that appeared to clear the clouds but i could not see a structure just a perfect ring that seemed to be about 3 football
fields wide ....I slowed down and had to look at it several times it kind of shook me up a bit and it seemed to drift forward then stop ....and no im
not crazy just seen something that ive never seen before and it looked alot like that pic in the clouds ...I was close to the missouri river on hwy
370 in the country side at 7am ....

I saw a ring UFO myself about 5 months ago. It was basically a perfectly round ring about maybe 100 to less than 300 feet off the ground. I had my
ipod mini but the movie did not show it well. This was in the area of Mill Valley Dog Park in California.

Well actually you may be correct. However so is the OP. All things come out in the wash thanks to a random thread from a random member, I present you
with this:

This just happens to be a photo of a smoke ring taken by Rex Heflin immediately after the departure of a UFO.

"Rex Heflin is a Highway Accident Investigator for the Los Angeles County Highway Commission... he carried a Polaroid camera...[which] contained
film rated at 3000 ASA... [On] Myford Road near Santa Ana.. he spotted an unusual object approaching the road. He stopped the truck, grabbed the
camera off the seat beside him and made three pictures as rapidly as possible... As the object moved away, Heflin... scrambled out of the truck and
took his fourth and final picture... Heflin tried to contact his office by radio while the UFO was near [his vehicle], [but] the radio refused to
operate."[footnote 1]

While other attempts showing how smoke rings can be formed from various sources are very plausible, it is also plausible that these rings could have
been formed from UFOs now that we have photographic evidence that it indeed did happen.

I would just like to edit to add that the debunkers of the Heflin story have already been debunked in the above video.

I found these on the world wide telescope...
If you have WWT, look towards the Pliades for the oriange ones and top left of the orion constellation for the blue ones then zoom in. Sorry about the
picture quality... Also look at the you tube video Fallen Angels between 6:30 and 7:54. It's in Black and white however, when you open up the WWT you
can see them in full color. Also notice the streaks left behind on both the video and WWT.. The streaks are caused by the attempt to take a still
photo while they're obviously in motion.

Since I can't seem to figure out how to upload my pictures, just go to WWT.

I thought I would bump this thread because of the new information that has come to light regarding smoke rings and ufos. I wouldn't want to see this
thread die until some further discussion on the images I provided

Looking man made is really a moot point don't you think? Whether you're blowing smoke rings with a cigarette, using a barrel drum with some sort of
lid with a hole, a volcano or whatever means possible, it's the physics involved.

Keeping that in mind, then the only pure logical explanation that debunkers and believers alike can agree on is, a vortex was created. Now what caused
the vortex?

Heflin's photos were proven to be genuine or at best "accurate" with the proper dimensions in size relevant to distance and height, thus providing
credibility to his story. So, a man made smoke ring in the midst of a genuine ufo sighting doesn't fit.
